Bella Union Records founder and label head, singer/songwriter, musician and Cocteau Twins‘ Simon Raymonde celebrates his 63rd birthday today. Raymonde’s work with Cocteau Twins and as a solo artist has had a towering influence on shoegaze, dream pop and ambient rock.
Bella Union Records is arguably one of the best indie labels in the world, releasing the work of countless artists I’ve covered on this site and have just loved immensely.
